We're hiring a Chief Financial Officer at Yurok Telecommunications Corporation (YTEL).

This isn't your typical CFO role. YTEL is a tribally-owned ISP serving Yurok country in rural Northern California — and we're growing fast. We're looking for a financial leader who's ready to grow with us, navigate federal grant compliance (including NTIA/TBCP funding), and help build something that genuinely matters for our community.

What we're looking for:
✔ Senior-level financial leadership and strategy experience
✔ Regulatory, grant, and audit compliance background
✔ Comfort in a startup/growth-stage environment
✔ Tribal preference applies — we strongly encourage applications from Native American/Alaska Native candidates

If you know someone who fits this role, please share!
